Cameroon residents to stage protest
2011-04-19 10:31
Pretoria - An organisation representing
Cameroon nationals based in South Africa was planning to march to their embassy
in Pretoria on Tuesday morning to protest against President Paul Biya.
"[We want] to say 'no' to President Paul
Biya's 29 years of rapping the people's constitution, resources [and]
instituting corruption as a way of life," the Enough, Biya Must Go Campaign
organisers said.
"[We want to say no to] eroding the
moral fabric of the society, making favouritism [and] nepotism a norm, and
perpetuating his rule by constantly changing the constitution, especially with
respect to term limits amongst many and rigging elections with impunity,"
the group said.
The protest was scheduled to take place at
the High Commission of Cameroon on Brooklyn, Pretoria, from 09:00.
Biya and his Cameroon People's Democratic
Movement have been in power since 1982.
